The effect of number of reference sites on macroinvertebrate multimetric index development for stream biomonitoring

EPA SEMINAR by Kai Chen from Nanjing Agricultural University in the People’s Republic of China

Wednesday, August 14, 2013 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Location:

EPA Lecture Training Room 182, in the EPA Western Ecology Division (WED) Laboratory Main Building (this is not the JSB building you may be familiar with)

200 SW 35th Street (At Jefferson and 35th street --- across from the Wave Research Center).

Please enter through the front door of the EPA building and sign in if you are not an employee (Fed, contractor, or affiliate) at WED.

Kai's research is centered around evaluating sampling and data analysis methods from studies in southeastern China that can eventually be applied nationwide as part of
a national stream and river monitoring program in China. He is currently working with Dr. Chuck Hawkins' team at Utah State University, where he has a 1-year internship as part of his Ph.D.
research program, and he has recently had a manuscript accepted by Ecological Indicators that involves alternative predictive models for assessing macroinvertebrate assemblage condition.
